Market Overview

East Hampton, on the South Fork of Long Island, has about 29,090 year-round residents and draws affluent visitors and second-home owners from New York City each summer, with Main Beach, Montauk Point Lighthouse, Guild Hall and the Pollock-Krasner House as anchors. This page uses data through September 2026. The STR performance figures here describe the Long Island STR market, a series shared across multiple areas, so they are regional benchmarks rather than figures measured for East Hampton alone. In September 2026 the Long Island STR market averaged an ADR of $669, occupancy of 42.2% and monthly revenue of $8,098 per listing. Entire homes earned an ADR of $783 and averaged $9,069 in monthly revenue, while houses averaged $9,218 and apartments $3,677. Year over year, occupancy rose 1.3%, ADR rose 13.4% and revenue rose 11.9%, so growth came mostly from price rather than demand. Through the first nine months of 2026 average occupancy was 52.2%, ADR was $551 and monthly revenue was $7,744, ahead of the full 2025 figures of 50.1%, $488 and $6,763. Bedroom, channel and listing-type counts and the leading operators are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for East Hampton, so this profile omits them. The most important context is regulatory. The Town limits rentals of fewer than 14 days to no more than twice in any six-month period, which pushes the local market toward two-week, monthly and seasonal leases rather than nightly turnover. Anyone modeling returns should read the regulatory section before relying on the revenue figures.

Short-Term Rental Regulations

Short-term rentals are permitted in East Hampton, but the rules are restrictive and lead any investment decision. The Town Code allows a property to be rented for fewer than 14 days no more than twice in any six-month period. That effectively blocks frequent nightly and weekend rentals and pushes the market toward two-week, monthly and seasonal leases. A permit is required under the Rental Registry law (Chapter 199, in effect since 2015). Owners must obtain a Rental Registry Number, complete a self-inspection safety checklist and display the number in all advertisements. The fee is commonly cited at $100 for a two-year term, though a 2025 Town Board discussion referenced a $200 permit and possible increases. There is no owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement and no annual night cap. Rentals to immediate relatives are exempt. Short-term lodging is subject to the 5.5% Suffolk County hotel and motel occupancy tax, plus applicable sales tax. Penalties are steep. Advertising without the registry number carries fines from $150 to $1,500 and up to 15 days in jail. Operating unregistered carries fines from $3,000 to $15,000 and up to six months in jail, rising to $8,000 to $30,000 for repeat offenses. The Village of East Hampton keeps a separate Seasonal Use Dwelling Unit registry with its own rules. In October 2025 officials noted about 1,874 detected listings with roughly half registered and discussed stronger enforcement, but no new ordinance had been adopted as of late 2025. Enforcement severity is rated moderate.

Market Comparison

The Long Island STR market is a high-rate, lower-occupancy market. September 2026 occupancy was 42.2% with an ADR of $669. Averaged over the first nine months of 2026, occupancy was 52.2% with an ADR of $551. Luxury listings at $1,599 and professionally managed listings at $1,280 sit well above the all-listings rate. Revenue per listing of $8,098 in September reflects the rate premium rather than high occupancy, and revenue growth of 11.9% year over year was driven mainly by a 13.4% ADR increase. The comparison also needs a regulatory adjustment. Most US markets allow nightly rentals without a term limit, while East Hampton limits rentals under 14 days. Investors comparing East Hampton with other destinations should weigh the high rates and the premium purchase price of $2,129,772 against the restrictions on how often a home can be rented for short stays.
